About Maasai Mara: Maasai Mara game Reserve, one of the wonders of the world, lies in the south-western corner of the Kenya approx. 390km from Nairobi. This vast rolling plain beneath the Mara escarpment is striped black once a year by millions of wildebeest and zebra migrating north from the Serengeti plains. During the migration season (July/August) the resident lions lounge prominently in the sun, fat and seemingly placid. The Maasai people live on the reserve’s fringes and are co-owners of the reserve, sharing in revenues from tourism. The Mara is Africa’s premier wildlife destination, and boasts all the big game species. Besides the normal safari activities, hot air ballooning across the plains is one of the finest ways to see Africa’s wildlife.
